1.)  I am not "normal".  Just ask alt.religion.kibology.  Better yet,
ask rec.pets.cats and alt.postmodern and sci.physics.
2.)  "not well connected"?  World has a handful of T1s coming out the
back.  When I post something, it shows up in Australia in a minute (as
it should for other users of good machines.)  What would I have to do to
be "well connected"?  (And besides, you're only paying $20 a month.)
I'm gonna tell Barry Shein you said World isn't "well-connected" and
he'll cross-post this to even MORE newsgroups!
3.)  I don't scan all newsgroups.  I have a program that scans all
newsgroups.  Actually, it doesn't scan all newsgroups.  It scans all
articles.  Technically, though, it's too difficult for me to explain.
The technology was given to me by aliens.
